Boychuk to serve two-game suspension

Portland Winterhawks forward Riley Boychuk has been suspended two games by the WHL as supplemental discipline for actions in the final five minutes of Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Tri-City.

After teammate Ty Rattie was dropped by an elbow, an unruly Boychuk fired a punch as players paired off to earn the supplemental punishment. The 6'5 Boychuk was assessed a roughing double minor on the play. The suspension will keep him out of action until January 9th.
